Features: The ocean is a new growth point for the economy. In the process of developing the ocean, countries that invest earlier will have priority in sharing the rights to its resources. However, the development and utilization of the ocean must be based on surveys of marine geology and resources. Therefore, it is essential to widely popularize knowledge of marine geology and marine resources among the public. This book introduces these topics in a popular and accessible manner, with a focus on marine resources closely related to the national economy and defense, such as oil, natural gas, and manganese nodules.
